the writer here explores the current lack of a public peace movement in the face of all of 'our' wars, and does so clearly as you would expect from a former cia employee;

The United States of America has no peace movement even though the country has been mired in unwinnable wars since 2001 and opinion polls suggest that there is only lukewarm support among the public for what is taking place in Afghanistan and Syria. This is in part due to the fact that today’s corporate media virtually functions as a branch of government, which some might refer to as the Ministry of Lies, and it is disinclined to report on just how dystopic American foreign and national security policy has become. This leaves the public in the dark and allows the continued worldwide blundering by the US military to fly under the radar.

The irony is that America’s last three presidents quite plausibly can be regarded as having their margins of victory attributed to a peace vote. George W. Bush promised a more moderate foreign policy in his 2000 campaign, Obama pledged to undo much of the harsh response to 9/11 promulgated by Bush, and Donald Trump was seen as the less warlike candidate when compared to Hillary Clinton. So the public wants less war but the politicians’ promises to deliver have been little more than campaign chatter, meaning that the United States continues to be locked into the same cycle of seeking change through force of arms.

Just last week Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke to a BBC journalist and said Iran must do what Washington demands “if they want their people to eat.” Pompeo’s comments should have shocked the public, but they were not widely reported. If Pompeo spoke for the Administration, that means that Washington is now ready, willing and often able to starve civilians and deny them medicines as a foreign policy tool. Iran is now on the receiving end, but the US has also been supporting similar action by the Saudi Arabians in Yemen, which has resulted in widespread starvation, particularly among children. The current policy recalls former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s infamous comment that the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children due to sanctions had been “worth it.”.........https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2018/11/15/america-has-no-peace-movement-blame-white-supremacists.html

buchanan speaks herein about press privilege verses their rights, and i don't see any other way to view it, so if you do, comment;

Last week, the White House revoked the press pass of CNN’s chief White House correspondent, Jim Acosta, and denied him access to the building.
CNN responded by filing suit in federal court against the president.
Acosta’s First and Fifth Amendment rights had been violated, said CNN. The demand: Acosta’s press pass must be returned immediately and his White House press privileges restored.
“If left unchallenged,” CNN warned, “the actions of the White House would create a dangerous chilling effect for any journalist who covers our elected officials.” A dozen news organizations, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, are filing amicus briefs on CNN’s behalf.
On Thursday, the Trump administration raised the stakes.
Justice Department lawyer James Burnham declared in court: “If the president wants to exclude all reporters from the White House grounds, he clearly has the authority to do that.”
After all, whose house is it if not the “President’s House,” the home of Donald Trump as long as he serves in the office to which he was elected by the American people?
The West Wing contains the Oval Office and the offices of senior staff. As for the West Wing briefing room, it was built by President Richard Nixon in 1969, when White House passes were regarded as privileges.
When did they become press rights or press entitlements?......https://www.lewrockwell.com/2018/11/patrick-j-buchanan/trump-raises-the-stakes-with-cnn/

every day when i reach a point where i suspect nothing more stupid than the regular stuff will arise, i see things like this bit below. then again, they are speaking of florida. all is pasted here plus the link is in its usual spot;

A Florida school district allowed a self-described transgender female student regular access to the boys’ locker room, with no advance warning to the boys or their parents. The first time she walked in, she caught “boys (literally) with their pants down, causing them embarrassment and concern by the fact that they had been observed changing by an obvious girl,” says a complaint letter to Pasco County School District from Liberty Counsel, a pro-bono constitutional law firm.

With a “gag order,” school administrators forbade teachers from talking about the change, and ordered a male P.E. teacher to supervise the potentially undressed girl in the Chasco Middle School locker room, the letter says. When he refused to “knowingly place himself in a position to observe a minor female in the nude or otherwise in a state of undress,” administrators told him “he will be transferred to another school as discipline for ‘not doing your job in the locker room.'”

In an email, an administrator initially threatened to put the male coach on administrative leave, telling him that refusing to supervise a potentially naked female student would “not be tolerated,”said Liberty Counsel attorney Richard Mast. The school’s other P.E. teacher, who is female, also objected and was ignored.

Pasco parents have yet to be informed by the school of this situation, yet the transgender student continues to have open access to private male areas, according to Liberty Counsel. Despite the initial September incident, then legal contact in October, the elected board for the district with 70,500 students has so far taken no action and administrators have refused to budge.

“Unfortunately these things are going on across the country, primarily with school psychologists and guidance counselors,” said Mast. He noted that it’s standard for public schools to pass transgender policies without informing parents, voters, or taxpayers first. That means the public only hears about it after children have been affected, withholding all opportunities for parents to prevent their child’s exposure to this kind of sexual indoctrination, confusion, and exploitation......https://archive.is/o/DuiF1/thefederalist.com/2018/11/14/florida-school-district-gags-p-e-teachers-telling-parents-girl-watching-naked-sons/

i'm always entertained by those who want me to know we have the best military in the world, but they also say that wonderful military doesn't win because politicians won't let them. i wonder how many humans walk the earth without brains as the ones i just referred to must be among those brainless. the following article will tend towards making light of 'our' wonderful military, and it still won't tell you where the missing twenty one trillion went;

A friend who used to work in the Pentagon told me about the end of year budget meetings he had to attend. There, military personnel would frantically brainstorm ideas on how to spend the rest of their budgets. If they didn’t spend every cent, next year’s budget would be cut.

“Popcorn makers?” someone suggested. “Or perhaps some sort of group outings, to an event or a show.”

“Why don’t we return the extra money, since we clearly don’t need it,” my friend suggested.

The way he tells it, the tension in the room was palpable. Who was this asshole suggesting that they don’t use their entire budget?

I can’t remember what they decided to spend the money on. But they definitely used it. He said he would often come across unused equipment in the Pentagon that seemed out of place… and conclude that it must have been to eat up budget surpluses.

This anecdote shouldn’t be surprising. The military only seems to pinch pennies when it comes to taking caring of veterans who have sacrificed their physical and mental health for the Pentagon.

The Air Force spent $300,000 over the last few years on coffee mugs. But these aren’t just any coffee mugs. These attach to an airplane’s control panel, and keep the coffee hot! Soup too–they will keep soup hot as well. Quite versatile.

And each mug only costs $1,200. Which is strange, since I remember my dad getting a similar device for Christmas one year that plugged into the cigarette lighter in the car. And I can’t imagine my mom spending more than $29.95 on such a gift.

But sadly, these examples of waste are absolutely trivial compared to the overall waste in the Defense budget............http://www.silverbearcafe.com/private/11.18/military.html

interesting company christmas present, and the comments are great;

Hortonville, WI – -(AmmoLand.com)- The father and son team at BenShot, a local Wisconsin glassmaking company that makes the original bulletproof shot glass, whiskey, and beer glasses, gave all their employees handguns for Christmas.
This year’s Christmas gift was one to remember at BenShot. Every employee received a handgun of their choice.

“We are a small, close-knit team at BenShot. I want to make sure all of employees are safe and happy – a handgun was the perfect gift” -Ben Wolfgram, son from the Father and Son team at BenShot..........https://www.ammoland.com/2018/11/local-company-gives-all-employees-handguns-for-christmas/#ixzz5WqCzXnLA

this account is pasted in full with the link below as usual, and i leave it for you to form your own conclusions about its validity;


Phillipe de Rothschild – son of one of nineteenth century France’s richest men Henri de Rothschild – was a former prisoner of Vichy France who then escaped to Spain and then on to Great Britain to join General de Gaulle’s ‘Free French’ in 1942. I will talk more about this detestable jewish degenerate character in another article but upon reading his 1984 autobiography – typed up and published by author Joan Littlewood – his (brief) account of his visit to the concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen as part of the Allied forces in 1945 really stood out.

The reason becomes readily apparent when read:

‘I was shown the files in the admin. Section, the bills and receipts, neatly typed and rubber-stamped, ‘We beg to acknowledge delivery of your improved gas chambers. We have found them most efficient.’

I discovered that Doctor Zadoc-Kahn and his wife had died here, gentle old friends. The Nazis kept careful records. They had been stripped, shaved, and had their spectacles taken away from them. I saw collections of spectacles, false teeth and human hair in a hut labelled ‘Stores’.’ (1)

So in other words despite the quick retreat from and cover up of the idea of gas chambers existing and in use at Bergen-Belsen throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Rothschild offers us a window into the world of the ‘evidence’ of the ‘Holocaust’ with a reference to how he was presented with piles of human hair, false teeth and spectacles as prima facie evidence of the so-called ‘Holocaust’.

With the clincher for him being a document which allegedly read that: ‘We beg to acknowledge delivery of your improved gas chambers. We have found them most efficient.’

The obvious problem with that is that Bergen-Belsen did have gas chambers but not for use on humans but rather as methods to disinfect clothing and thus attempt to curtail the insect-spread diseases such as typhus that ravaged just about every concentration camp during the Second World War.

This makes a lot more sense of the quote cited by Rothschild by homicidal gas chambers: doesn’t it?

We also know Rothschild is a bit of fibber as he genuinely expects us to believe – without substantive evidence or any corroboration – that his first wife Lili was ‘beaten, degraded and thrown into an oven alive’ by the Nazis. (2)

He allegedly heard this information from a woman – with whom he had had an affair – who was imprisoned with his wife in a Gestapo-run prison in Eastern France. Yet didn’t bother to corroborate it beyond using this claim to declare her dead and take her money.
